Description:
SDL2 is unusable, please use --with-sdlabi=1.2 (upstream default). Issues:
* Switching to monitor (ctrl-alt-2) creates a new window, but the return key is not (always) working. (Possibly related reports: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1615212, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=214865)
* (Starting on Plasma also causes a small flicker which does not exist with 1.2.)

A build with depends=(sdl) and --with-sdlabi=1.2 fixes the issues for me. (Previously qemu 2.5.0-1 was in use which worked fine.)

Additional info:
* qemu 2.8.0-1
* sdl 2.0.5-2
This task depends upon
